Foreign Minister Lin Chia-lung leads delegation to southern city
A group of Taiwan-based diplomats from 23 nations visited the Taiwan AI Labs in Kaohsiung’s Asia Bay 5G AIoT Innovation Park on Saturday (Nov. 2).
Foreign Minister Lin Chia-lung (林佳龍) led the 38-member delegation to meet with Kaohsiung Mayor Chen Chi-mai (陳其邁) to understand the city’s efforts in smart city development, according to the Kaohsiung city government. Participating countries included several of Taiwan’s diplomatic allies, Japan, Poland, and New Zealand.
The city government is developing artificial intelligence technology to enhance governance efficiency and address industrial challenges, Chen said. It is also working toward sustainable environmental development and looks forward to advancing diverse cooperation with the international community.
Chen said that in response to challenges posed by climate change, Kaohsiung is prioritizing digital and net-zero transformation. He said it has established Taiwan's first physical Net Zero Academy, where city officials are obtaining relevant international certifications, and more than 3,000 professionals have already been trained in the field.
The city is integrating AI technology with local traditional industries such as agriculture and manufacturing and guiding companies in enhancing carbon reduction. Chen also hoped that Kaohsiung would have the opportunity to collaborate with the central government to launch projects with other countries in AI technology and carbon trading.
